Shivam Mavi came into the spotlight after a string of impressive performances for India in the U-19 ICC Cricket World Cup last year. He was soon bought by KKR in the last year's IPL auction for a base price of 20 Lakh INR.

The 20-year-old showed some promise in the limited opportunities he got in the last season claiming five wickets from nine games.

Despite his limited experience, he bowled well in the death overs. He is still a raw product and can exhibit his full potential if given proper guidance and chance.

#11 Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson is one of the fastest bowlers in the world at the moment. His ability to bowl at the north of 150 kmph earned him a nickname 'The Flash' in New Zealand cricketing circle. He was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for a price of 1.6 crore INR this season.

Ferguson has played 22 ODIs and has claimed 39 wickets. His ability to pick wickets with his sheer pace is his specialty. He will have to lead KKR's pace attack as there are no other experienced International fast bowlers in their squad.
